Grown in vineyards that bask in cool morning sun and benefit from False Bay’s moderating sea breezes, DeMorgenzon’s Reserve Chardonnay is a standout Cape expression of the variety. On the nose, it reveals aromas of dried apricot, peach pith, and rich thyme butter. The palate is equally complex, offering delicate elderflower, lemon rind, and orange marmalade, underpinned by a refined nuttiness. These rich, vibrant flavours are beautifully integrated with an elegant acidity and textured mouthfeel, creating a wine of depth, balance, and exceptional length. A sophisticated and age-worthy Chardonnay
The grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Juice was transferred to French oak barrels (30% new) with minimal settling, where fermentation occurred naturally. About 70% of the volume completed malolactic fermentation during an 10-month ageing on the gross lees. The wine was bottled with minimal stabilisation and clarified without filtration.
